Data inventory generation and management system
The granted patent US12045266B2 outlines a method and system for generating a graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates the visualization and management of data assets. The method involves accessing a data model that includes various data assets, which can be software or hardware used for data collection, storage, processing, or transfer. The GUI provides a visual representation of the data model, illustrating the relationships among these assets and allowing users to navigate through different data inventories. When a user selects a navigational element, the system displays an additional representation of a specific data inventory, highlighting its attributes and indicating any unpopulated fields. The method further includes determining attribute values for these fields through data assessments or by scanning connected data repositories.
Additionally, the patent describes the use of machine learning techniques to categorize inventory attribute values and generate confidence scores based on the data retrieved. The attribute values can include details about processing activities, data transfer methods, and data types, as well as security indicators such as encryption status. The system is designed to update the visual representation dynamically as new attribute values are populated, ensuring that users have access to the most current information. The patent also encompasses provisions for integrating third-party information technology systems and utilizing intelligent scanning methods to enhance data retrieval processes, thereby improving the overall management of data assets within organizations.
